The Importance Of Spying

Improved Essays
Spying is often referred to as the 2nd oldest occupation in the world. Knowing what the country's people are up to, can strengthen the government's power over them. Knowing what another country is up to can give you a significant edge in warfare and international affairs.

Therefore, all the agencies are important,

In 1951, CIC was replaced by Mossad under direct supervision of the Prime Minister. In June 1951 Mossad signed a clandestine agreement with the American CIA.

Mossad has a diverse range of operational activity and the operational methods for defending Israeli and Jewish interest are extremely crude in the olden days.
The agency has been known to kidnap torture and kill individuals, manipulate journalists and politicians and monitor various organizations and individuals but today, we are witnessing a new dimension, and there is no more torture and killing like before, and i think that, this may be due to the efforts of the joint task working together for a long time to bring peace to Israel and the Middle-east.

So it is striking to us that we have reached a point in our history when the expectation of privacy and liberty is dissolving” (Paul and Yoho). A major argument against the NSA is that it violates the rights of the countries people. Paul and Yoho say “We need to go back to the basics and use the Fourth Amendment as our guide.”…

    Mossadegh had not overplayed his hand and dissolved Parliament and the Shah had not delivered an address from Baghdad announcing that he had signed the decrees. Mossadegh, confident that he had succeeded in foiling the coup had recalled many of the troops he had assigned to guard the city of Tehran, and the CIA and General Zahedi took advantage of this fact to launch a sneak attack against Mossadegh. This attack was to be carried out on 19 August and on this day, finally, General Zahedi and his supporters achieved success and rounded up the embattled prime minister and his supporters and gained control of the government. However, while the CIA and British intelligence celebrated the overthrow of Mossadegh and the achievement of their diverse objectives, they failed to see the repercussions wounding a deeply proud nation. Thus, the bitter seeds of resentment and distrust that they sowed became a part of Iranian national identity and Mossadegh became an icon of anti-imperialism.…

    Throughout the cold war, the intelligence policy has been characterised by a certain degree of continuity throughout the different administrations. The first President to remove a Director of Central Intelligence in charge in favour of a party-affiliated DCI was President Carter in 1976, who did not confirm the mandate of then DCI Bush. Despite that episode, continuity has profoundly marked the work of the Intelligence, by assuring it a stable structure, endowed with autonomy, and by maintaining an exclusive focus on the Soviet threat, which remained at a priority of the US agenda regardless of the President in charge.…

    President? The United States was blind-sighted in the September 11, 2001 terrorist attack which resulted in the death of 2,977 innocent Americans. This was the largest attack in the history of the U.S. on our soil and although the signs were there for the intelligence community to see, it was mistakenly not put together. Much of the attack stemmed from communications between terrorist or those connected and working with terrorist within our Country, and this was unacceptable. In order to defend against such communications, according to Lichtblau & Risen (2005), “Under a presidential order signed in 2002, the intelligence agency has monitored the international telephone calls and international e-mail messages of hundreds, perhaps thousands, of people inside the United States without warrants over the past three years in an effort to track possible ‘dirty numbers’ linked to Al Qaeda, the officials said. The agency, they said, still seeks warrants to monitor entirely domestic communications”.…

    Dershowitz once stated, “Such technological tools are helping us now in the hot war against terrorists who would bomb this theater if they had the capacity to do so”.

    Most critics of surveillance argue about how it is an abuse of power, a violation of people 's privacy, and most importantly, unconstitutional, while proponents of surveillance claim the benefit of surveillance is a reduction in the probability of high-cost events such as terrorism. Government surveillance programs, when conducted in controlled situations and closely audited by independent organizations, do not directly harm innocent civilians, especially when they benefit the safety of the general public. Surveillance, by definition, is the act of carefully watching someone or something especially in order to prevent or detect a crime. If that definition was used when discussing the issue of government surveillance, most public safety activities,…
